„I do want to say, they’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere, she’s been pursued and vilified,“ Clooney said in the interview.

„She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was and its history repeating itself.

„We’ve seen how that ends. I can’t tell you how frustrating that is, just seeing them broadcast a letter from a daughter to a father, she’s getting a raw deal there and I think it’s irresponsible and I’m surprised by that.“

Clooney’s publicist did not immediately respond to INSIDER’s request for comment.

Her friends added that they worried what the stress of such negative attention is doing to her and the baby: „It’s wrong to put anyone under this level of emotional trauma, let alone when they’re pregnant.“

Meghan has also received a lot of tough press outside her relationship with her father.
